Researchers noted that about half of all species of bacteria contain small segments of DNA of about 20-50 base pairs derived fro

m plasmids or viruses. The phrase clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) describes the organization of these viral DNA segments in the bacterial genome. Bacteria use CRISPR to: (Select all that apply.)

identify viral DNA by complementary base pairing with RNA.

transcribe RNA that combines with a protein that has a DNA-cleaving function.

The correct answers are:  

• transcribe RNA that combines with a protein that has a DNA-cleaving function.  

• identify viral DNA by complementary base pairing with template DNA.

CRISPR is a DNA sequence found in bacteria (or other prokaryotic cell), derived from DNA fragments from viruses that have previously infected that bacteria. Bacteria use CRISPR to destroy DNA from next similar viruses. So, it is form of antiviral defense in bacteria.

Cas9  is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme (DNA-cleaving function) associated with the CRISPR that cleave specific sequences of DNA complementary to the CRISPR sequence.

Natali [406]

Answer:

A. Water

Explanation:

Van Helmont concluded that most of the mass the plant gained had come from water, because that was the only thing that he had added to the pot. Van Helmont's experiment accounts for the "hydrate," or water, portion of the carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis.

    Termites depend on digestive tract to digest the complex sugars into simpler molecules that they can use for food. Cellulose is a major sugar and it is broken down in the hindgut of the termite by microbes into molecules called short-chain fatty acids. The termite's cells use these acids as nourishment, just like our cells do.

therefore, answer is A. mutualism
